The TCU Horned Frogs will take on the Louisiana Tech Bulldogs in the 2011 Poinsettia Bowl in San Diego, CA.
As you might imagine, the high-powered Horned Frogs are favored and favored big. They're an eleven-point favorite according to OddsShark.
TCU won the Mountain West with a 10-2 record and finished the regular season ranked No. 16. Louisiana Tech won the Western Athletic Conference with an 8-4 record. The Bulldogs started the season 1-4 with three losses in which they squandered a fourth quarter lead but were able to turn it around.
Last season the Horned Frogs rode their season into a BCS bowl and knocked off Wisconsin. This season, the Horned Frogs fell just short of a BCS at-large bid, instead making their way back to California for the Poinsettia Bowl.
